What are Wall Street analysts saying about AptarGroup stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AptarGroup stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AptarGroup anticipates third-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings per share at 91-97 cents. The mid-point of the guidance reflects year over year growth of 1.6%. The company projects core sales to improve in each segment this year. However, lower custom tooling sales in the Beauty + Home segment remains a headwind. AptarGroup is poised to gain from the ongoing business transformation plan and product roll outs in its segments, which will drive top-line growth. The company remains focused on expanding business through acquisitions. Nevertheless, AptarGroup’s segments results are likely to bear the brunt of currency fluctuation and elevated raw material costs. Also, a higher tax rate due to the recently enacted corporate tax rate hike in France will impact earnings. Estimates for the current quarter and the year have moved down lately. " (10/14/2019)
2. KeyCorp analysts commented, "We’re assuming 2% adj. EPS growth in both years; 2019 adj. EPS growth has been dragged down by a higher tax rate, but it’s been boosted to a somewhat lesser extent by acquisitions. At over 14x EBITDA and a 2% free cash flow yield on market cap, we don’t see much room for multiple expansion. Reiterate SW rating." (8/1/2019)
